Retrenchment was Necessary.


Mrs. Bixby became convinced the 9TH
er day that retrenchment wa, absolutely
necessary in her household expenses.
"Business is dull,r she said, "and i
must make our bills as light as possible
Poor husband is quite worried over our
affairs. Now, how can | save s. or $40
and show Mr.. Bixby that women can be
economical IL necessary? ] know" she
said suddenly, in the joyful tone Of one
who has had a happy thought. | will
do without the hat ! intended getting TO
wear with my new gray suit can wear
nv black imported straw with it very
well, aud will, too. Iiust must learn
TO economic.
Then she put on her hat and went
down town, 50 elated over her " clearing
of five whole dollars that she intended
walking home at noon with Mr.. Bixby
and telling him all abont it.
Il wonder now," she said, as she stop
ped before the windows of a glove store,
q wonder if couldn't afford a new pair
of those tan kid gloves with stitching on
the back. | really need them, and I've
saved five dollars by going without hat
so-yes III get them; they'll cost only
about 81"
Ten minutes later she stood before the
ribbon counter in dry goods store.
This ribbon is really very cheap" she
was saving to herself, "and ! need lot
of ribbonlawfully. / wonder if | could
afford it to-day Let me see, I-ofcourse
l can, after saving s. on that hat.
And she bought ten yards of ribbon at
twenty-five cents yard.
Great sale of embroidery" she read
on a fiaring placard moment later.
Just what need" she said, but |
have been doing without because wan
ted to economize but Pm sure Charlie
couldn't say anything if bought little
when I've saved five whole dollars"
So she bought "a little" for sl.75. Then
she got ''the greatest kind of a bar
gain" in remnants of French gingham
for SI5O.
"I never would have bought it, she
said TO herself, ''but it WAS so cheap, and
then I'd saved five dollars this morning"
Before reaching her husbands office
with the cheering news of her economy
she had bought four yards Of lace, three
of insertion, :, pound of candy, two col
lars and pair of cuffs, pair of slippers,
two pairs of hose, handkerchiefs, fan,
bunch of roses, another pair of gloves,
six linen handkerchiefs and two neckties
for Mr. Bixby.
Then she repaired to Bixby's office
with the tale of her economy, and ended
by saying:
And here's a few things ! thought |
could afford after saving so much by go
ing without hat
Bixby asked few questions, made a
rapid calculation, and said in an utterly
heartless tone:
See here, Sally don't you economize
You'll break me sure if you
do. You've got sl69s worth of goods al
ready out of that s., and"
You are just too mean for anything
Charley Bixby."

/, 1884, says:-"I have had many pre-

Court Etiquette in Honolulu.

Captain stephen Taylor, of Boston,
spent good deal of time, between one
voyage and another, at Honolulu, and
was always treated as person to whom
a great deal of consideration was DUE
He visited the royal family quite often,
and was there received by his Majesty
King kamehameha, who was known as
King Aleck by the American and
English residents, on terms of absolute
equality.
One day there was state procession
in the streets of Honolulu, and the ma
tives had gathered from all over the
kingdom to do honor to royalty. Among
the crowd, and leaning nonchalantly
against a tree, his big panama hat on his
head, was Captain Stephen Taylor, Pres
emily there was blare of horns down
the street, and the head of the royal pro-
cession came into view OFF went the
headgear, but Capt. Taylor remained
covered.
Why don't you take off your hat,
Captain ?" asked native who spoke
English.
The Captain vouchsafed no reply. But
presently as the royal party drew near,
an Englishman said TO him:
Hadn't you better uncover, Captain ?"
No." said he 81 never took off my
hat to Il niger yet, and never will.p
1t was a rude speech, but not ment in
sultingly, quite evidently for the next
moment the royal party came quite
abreast, and Captain stephen, still with
Panama set nonchalantly on the back
of his head, called out cheerily to the
King:
Hello, Aleck :"
The King looked an instant at the
Captain and then called out in quite as
CHEEKY tone
Hello, Steve
And the cortege moved on, amid the
applause of the crowd, convincing one
Englishman that Boston sea captain
was at least as great man as a King of
Hawaii

A Startling Prediction.


Two hundred years ago in China there
was Just such craze in natural gas as we
have in this country to-day. Gas wells
were sunk with as much vim and vigor
as the celestials We're capable of. but ow
ng to gas explosion which killed sever
al millions of people and tore up and
destoyed a large inland sea, known on
the maps as Lake Foo Chang, the boring
of any more gas wells was then and there
prohibited by law. 1t seems, according
to Chinese history, that many large and
heavy pressure gas wells We're struck,
and in some districts wells were sunk
quite close to each other. Gas was light
Ell as soon as struck, as is done in this
country. 1t is stated that one well with
its unusual pressure, by induction or a
back driught, pulled down into the
burning gas of a smaller well resulting in
an explosion of large district destroying
the inhabitants thereof Lake Foo Chang
rests ON this district The same catastro-
phe is imminent in this country unless the
laws restrict further developments in Dor
ing so many wells. Should similar ex-
plosion occur there will be such an up
heaval as will drawf the most terrible
earthquakes ever known. The country
along the gas belt from Toledo through
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky will be rip
ped up to depth from | 200 to 800 feet
and Topped over like pancake. leaving

Lake Erie viii come howling down, fill

A Cup of Cold Water.


Don't you believe that when Christ AZ
ked US 10 give cups of sold water to his
little ones," He thonght not only Of His
disciples, and His human children, but
of all poor thirsty, helpless creatures In
the world? We believe 50, and We were
very glad to read the anecdote in an ex-
change:
Mr. Harvey was riding slowly along
the dusty road, looking in all directions
for stream, or a house, where he might
refresh his tired, thirsty horse, with
good draught of water. While he was
thinking and wandering. he turned an
abrupt bend in the road, saw before him
comfortable farm house and al the
same time, II boy ten or twelve years old
came out into the road with pail of wa
ter and stood directly before him.
3What do you wish. my boy y said
Mr. Harvey, stopping his horse.
"Would your horse like drink, sir p
said the boy respectfully.
Indeed he would, and was wander
ing where could get it."
Mr.. Harvey thought little of it, suppos-
ing, ofcourse, the boy earned a few PEN
MES in this manner ;and Therefore offered
him bit of silver, and was astonished
when he refused it.
81 wish you to take it" he said, look
ing at the boy.
"No, thank you," said the boy, I" /
don't want it, You see, sir, the distance
from PainsviIle is eight miles and there
is no stream crossing the road in that
long distance and like to water the
horses"
Mr. Harvey looked into the gray eyes
that were kindling and glowing with the
thought of doing good, and moisture
gathered in his own, as he logged off pom
dering deeply on the quaint little sermon
that had been given so innocently and
unexp pectelly.
